I enjoyed working on a small project of recording myself explaining the details of a certain theory and then upload the audio file on line in the wits e portal.

 

I didn’t know of such programme before, hence I was excited to find out about this programme. I have I noticed that now of late after the lecture on podcast that actually online learning courses present to me different forms of accessing knowledge. I finally unstained that knowledge being in a form of audio/pofcast, text/pofcast it is still knowledge, the difference is the form.

I also noticed that the podcast have value in learning, I have noticed that when students creates a podcast allows them to share learning experiences in different way and platform. Podcasts have potency of providing students with a world-wide audience that makes their learning interesting, meaningful and enhance pedagogy. Teachers can use the podcasts to provide additional and revision materials to their students, so that the students download and review at their suitable time. Podcasts also are user friendly to learners with special needs, since some learners can hear though can see. The inclusivity and flexibility makes podcasting a valuable educational tool

Now that you have covered these theories, think of the informal societal learning institutions around - home included. How are they able to teach effectively without this knowledge - or do they have? If they do, where do they get it from? Interesting!

Now that you have covered these theories, think of the informal societal learning institutions around - home included. How are they able to teach effectively without this knowledge - or do they have? If they do, where do they get it from? Interesting!   In this blog, my point of reference is computer lesson   To me informal learning institutions sound like "internet cafe in the shopping complex or  freind computer with internet connection". At first the knowledge how, is what these participants (children) are likely have, which in most cases they acquire it from "trial and error attemps" it therefore means it is either an autonomous process or peer learning. This is one kind of infromal learning, because the participants are not awere of knowledge what and knowledge that, however they can carryout knowledge how. It means participants have skills to teach one another computer lessons through doing. Some they get computer skills from everyday practice.

1. You watched a couple of videos explaining some of the concepts involved within the learning theories. Did you find this use of multimedia helpful? Elaborate.          2. What do you think makes constructivism a more favorable theory for users of resources?Constructivism is a theory which hasve roots on philosophical and psychological perspective. In this theory, learning is considered to be meaning of experiences of individuals. Learning through experiences implies "doing", learner must not occupy space of reciever of knoledge from the teacher, rather own the knoledge. in constructivist classroom, learners are expacted to be able to link the enviromental phenomenons with knoledge, in order to be able to solve problem and reason critically, that requires learners to be "active" in the learning process. it means learners should not memorise information as raw as it is from the teacher, but should create environmental link with the knoledge acquired.
